Swordsman Archive

Hi all swordsman! im working my way on the swordsman skill tree on Chimaera-European, but i whant to be a super melee tank

What other professions should i take?
I whant to fight alone (no pets)
I dont whanna be a master brawler, unarmed and polearsm suxor!

I just whant to be the best swordsman @ my server

Any hints or advice?? tnx

If you don't want to get Master Brawler, then reconsider your primary class. That's pretty much a requirement for tanking, mastering your weapon gives you the offensive power.

For what it's worth, I have Master Brawler, Master Swordsman, TKA 4004. I am going to work on becoming a 4000 Fencer. This leaves you with enough skill points for First Aid 4, Exploration 3, and a first level box in scout or medic.

there is no way to fight alone with a melee class in this game. some enemy will gang on you, janta, kunga, force sensitive wielder and etc...can kill you in one hit or shot.

In war, there is no "one" . Join the empire, get an ATST .

I got master swordsman / brawler and the 0/0/0/3 int TKA

I can kill kunga or even FS people without a big whoop, just get yourself some decent armor and use COB with intimidate 2 and you are untouchable by most NPC's (and a lot of PvP folk for that matter)

Master Swordsman / Brawler

I'd reply with something more than this, but that title makes baby jesus cry.

I have posted it before, but I dunno where. I used to be: teras 4-3-0-4, Master Heavy Sword, Master brawler, fencer 2-4-0-0, pikemam 0-0-4-0, medic 0-0-0-0. there ya go! not even Giant krayts will knock you down!... often, heh. But some player will, the carbineers were most successfull, but this was all before last patch...
But now I say forget pikeman and go like 4-4-2-0 in fencer, or get more medic, just go for the fencer 4-4-0-0 at least. Kd def is huge, melee ranged def is huge.

Super tank?

Swordsman/doctor in full composite.

Period. Full stop. End of statement.

Add a little muon gold ... nothing can kill you, although some things you just won't be able to kill (namely Kunga rockshaper ... 100% resist to kinetic and blast ... swordsman can't scratch 'em )

I'm not even close to master swordsman and I'm soloing force sensitive mobs (CL 100+) without breaking a sweat. Takes a bit, goes faster with a group, but that's just a damage output issue, not a tanking issue. Do a full stat migration to mind (at 1100 / 950 / 950 myself), use your own doc buffs for all your other stats, let the armor absorb the damage, and you are literally the toughest thing out there.

Andwhenever youhave to wade through a sea of red to res your commando/BH/tera kasi buddies ... justmake sure to gloat

Actually, if a mob has 100% on kinetic and blast you can still drop them with the aid of a junk pistol. Our bleeds will still go thru the resists just fine. So stack the bleeds, then just tank them while they die. Once they get to 1 mind point left just switch to the pistol and you will drop them. I looted an enhancedSR Combat Pistol off a Dark Jedi Master that has +25 Ranged Defense, +21 Pistol Aiming and I just keep it on me to finish off mobs with 100% resist to our damage types. Helps alot with those pesky rockshapers.

Don't beleive his lies. hehe... No offense ninelives, but it is possible to tank all sorts of stuff without a pet, as a melee class. Dead Kryat says so =)

currently i use my pet for tanking works great but when the ch changes happen i am gonna go doctor 0230 that will let me use doctor buff D's which with armor alows you tank pretty darn good

doc and anything is a freat build. you can heal res, too cool. but for tanking, that old build of mine cut through kungas just fine with a stun baton.

fine, put on your composite armors but remember your consiitution will drop. Ok, so you wasted a kunga lair(solo, no pet). How much health, action, mind do you left? less than half? can you continue another lair immediately? Do you need to remove all your armors, rest for 5 mins and continue? Remember, hammer sucks our health, action bar dry. we, can't keep spamming the special move. You be dead if you did.

But, for my case, i fight along site with my pet, I am no medic, I got no armors, but i can keeping fighting non-stop, after this lair is finished, i can continue another. with this , i can get 320 K in an hour, i can get 800 fp in a hour, coz i don't need to heal, i don't need to rest, i got no encumbrance., i keep going and going and going.

You can see a lot of rich player with many ATSTs and HQ, coz they keep going and going fighting along with thier pets.

I agree if you really like to solo without pet, swordman/medic or swordman/doctor will be abest choice.

But it is up to individual , you got your way of playing, I got my style of fighting. No arguement here.
